DEUT391 "Let not a rich man say,' My power and the might of my right hand has gotten me this wealth' (this verse)," Yehiel ben Yekutiel, Sefer Ma'alot ha-Middot. Improvement of the Moral Virtues. Trans. Seymour Cohen, Jerusalem, Eshkol, 1968. "Let the rich person understand that it is God who gives the power to acquire wealth." Ibid, p. 252. The rich person may declare, "I am a self-made man." But, as Mark Twain said, "A self-made man is about as likely as a self-laid egg."
